What does it mean that this will be the fourth incarnation of AVTM?

AVTM 1.0 – After his unsuccessful run for congress, he just wouldn’t shut up. So someone thought it was a good idea to put a microphone in his face and let him take control … ADAM VS THE MAN was belched into existence on KIVA AM1550 in Albuquerque, NM and lasted 6 months before being picked up as a TV show right before it was going to be canceled anyway. What a relief!

AVTM 2.0 – When Adam was picked up by RT, he made the jump to the small screen and was broadcast internationally on cable TV where he took a bite out of mainstream journalism that left a bad taste in his mouth. While on this platform he also achieved 5 MILLION youtube views in just 4 months. Then he was cancelled for political reasons. Damn you, Putin!

AVTM 3.0 – Adam cut loose from TV and made the big move to becoming an independent media resource. He started this venture as a one man operation, then hiring an assistant, and eventually had his operation taken over by interns. (It was his fault.) There were a lot of learning experiences in this time and we had problems with studio location, hiring staff … problems with hired staff, constant arrests for non-violent civil disobedience, and of course the violent government sanctioned kidnapping of Adam Kokesh on July 9, 2013. Even through all the chaos, we were still able to take the YouTube channel from 8 million to 26 million views in a year and a half with almost 1 million podcast downloads.

AVTM 4.0 – The sky’s the limit. Now we have the experience as well as the viewers to move to the next level. We will continue to play to our strengths in reaching out to young, up and coming activists and military veterans and active duty troops. We will also continue the trend of internationalizing AVTM, which already has fans all over the world. The market has shown there’s a place for the show and our viewers deserve a better one. With your help, Adam will be ready to deliver it. We will also organize an affiliate program that allows people to make money spreading the message from anywhere in the world where they can get behind a computer. Since he is banned in DC, he’ll be relocating to Los Angeles and zigzagging across the country on the IS THE WORLD READY? tour in February. If you live somewhere between DC and LA and would like to book Adam for an event, please email him at adam@adamvstheman.com.

As a supporter of AVTM, you can clearly see how the show has evolved and where it is headed. Now is the time to push even further. The viewers deserve a better experience and we will make it happen if we can reach this goal. If we fall short, we will still continue working toward the vision of what the show should be. It will just be by the same hard road we’ve been rolling along until now. Why aren’t we using kickstarter or indiegogo or some other crowdfunding website to do this? They charge about 5% commission plus up to another 5% in processing fees. Doing it this way allows us to provide better kickbacks. Thanks for your support and we look forward to making more sweet, sweet liberty together with your help! Donate here today!

My name is Adam Kokesh and I am a political prisoner. You might think only oppressive regimes have political prisoners, but we have no shortage in America. Of course, that begs the question: What is your definition of a repressive regime? A government that fights to maintain the status quo? A government that criminalizes normal behavior? A government that stifles opportunity? A government that provides the primary mechanisms of the poor getting poorer while the rich get richer? A government that sends people to die in unnecessary wars to benefit bankers and profiteers? A government that does not even pretend to follow its own rules? A government that seeks control by prosecuting dissidents for victimless crimes? Welcome to America!

I have been in jail for over three months for loading a shotgun at Freedom Plaza on Independence Day in defiance of DC gun laws to assert my rights allegedly protected by the 2nd amendment. I have yet to be indicted, let alone tried. My home was raided and ransacked for over 5 hours. I was kept in solitary confinement in cells with ants, cockroaches, water leaks, lights on for 24 hours a day, without a mattress, and I was fed so little I lost 15 pounds in the first three weeks. This is what “gun control” looks like. I harmed or threatened no one, yet for this victimless non-crime, I have been held without bail because of clerical errors that my judge refuses to acknowledge. I have been called “a danger to the community,” but the real danger is a government that seeks to make you dependent by denying your right to self-defense.

Gun control is not about guns. It’s about control. It’s about making you dependent on a government monopoly on force. It not only looks like my persecution, it looks like rising crime rates in cities where attackers know their victims will be disarmed. It looks like rape victims unable to defend themselves on college campuses. It looks like mass shootings that are all the more deadly because they happen in “gun-free zones.” It looks like a government that acts like it owns us, rather than serves us. It looks like a citizenry afraid to stand up for the freedom of self-ownership. It looks like a people unwilling to assert that they will not be enslaved. It looks like you are just waiting for someone to fight and win back your right to be a free, beautiful, independent human being! It looks like America today.

I am a civil rights activist, but I am not a leader. In order for us to have a truly free society, we must be the alphas of our own lives. As a humble civil servant, I can only hope my sacrifice has served to stir your conscience. I care more about making you think than making you like me. When I go to trial, I will be arguing that if there is no victim, there is no crime, and it will not just be my civil disobedience on trial, not just gun control, not just the enforcement of unconstitutional laws, not just the criminal injustice system, but the entire idea of government force and the government that has become the greatest enemy of freedom will be on trial. I will be fighting for my freedom, and yours, but you will never be free until you stand up for yourself and demand to be free. I would never ask you to follow me, but I dearly hope that you will join me.

Fairfax:

10/24/2013 09:30AM Jury Trial

Adam was not able to secure counsil due to the misappropriation of funds by a former team member.
for all our donors concerned over transparency issues please email your donation receipt to jeffrey@adamvstheman.com and he will get you a report as soon as it is complete.

The decision to suspend AVTM did not come lightly, but unfortunately it is the only logical course of action since Adam was evicted from his home. Adam’s body of work will continue to be promoted, but up to the minute details of his case are no longer requisite. In order to utilize the bulk of the funds for legal expenses, Adam requested that the show take a hiatus.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:
We are still raising funds for Adam’s defense, and all donations from the date of this e-mail onward will be going towards Adam’s legal fund, or promotions for events pertaining to Adam’s case (such as Jury Nullification).
